Plasmonics is a rapidly growing field spanning research and applications across chemistry,
physics, optics, energy harvesting, and medicine. Ultrafast photoemission electron …

Attosecond science is based on electron dynamics driven by a strong optical electric field
and has evolved beyond its original scope in gas-phase atomic and molecular physics to …

We present energy-resolved measurements of electron emission from sharp metal tips
driven with low energy pulses from a few-cycle laser oscillator. We observe above-threshold …

Nanometre-scale metal tips irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses represent ultrafast
electron sources. The combination of the laser pulse and the tip offers the possibility of …

We show that a field emission tip electron source that is triggered with a femtosecond laser
pulse can generate electron pulses shorter than the laser pulse duration (100 fs). The …

The problem of highly nonlinear photoemission from a metal surface is considered using
analytical and numerical approaches. Descriptions are found which cover both the weak …

Light at optical frequencies interacting with a metal surface can excite interband quantum
transitions, or intraband currents at frequencies approaching the PHz range. Momentum …

An electron added to a solvent polarizes its surrounding medium to minimize the free
energy. Such an electron with its polarization cloud, which we refer to as the solvated …

Experimental methods for ultrafast microscopy are advancing rapidly. Promising methods
combine ultrafast laser excitation with electron-based imaging or rely on super-resolution …

Electronic heating of cold crystal lattices in nonlinear multiphoton excitation can transiently
alter their physical and chemical properties. In metals where free electron densities are high …
